They find the best of the best in every region and bring them together to craft some truly exceptional blades. Like a talented music producer, they match folks and skillsets that complement each other perfectly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI never get sick of looking at this knife. It’s so pretty. I've always said a good knife should inspire you to cook, and this one definitely inspires me. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen it comes time to cut, you’re in good hands thanks to the VG10 steel in the blade. It keeps an obscenely sharp edge but doesn’t require a bunch of care like some other fancy knives do. The wooden octagonal handle is very traditional and very comfortable. I find the grooves lock into my hand, making the knife feel like an extension of my wrist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/strong\u003eThis is a multi-purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to their unique shape and smaller easy-to-handle size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Touroku Sakai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45947665481902,"sku":"KK-01","price":157.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/Toroku-Sakai-VG10-tsuchime-damascus-santoku-170mm.jpg?v=1734129669","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-us\/products\/toroku-sakai-vg10-tsuchime-damascus-santoku-170mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
